The five most likely times for breaking up are:

#5 Monday -- The most likely day of the week on which you'll hear those dreaded words of farewell is Monday.

#4  April Fool's Day -- Anyone who chooses this day on which to break up has a twisted sense of humor.

#3  Two weeks before Christmas -- Can you say cheapskate? It's about this time of December that serious holiday shopping begins. Why spend a lot of money on someone you don't really like?

#2 The weeks leading up to spring break -- This impacts college students the most, who may decide in the rush to a week of surf, sand and the barely clothed bodies of perfect strangers that they just don't want to be encumbered by a dying romantic flame.

#1  After Valentine's Day -- This romantic holiday, with its candlelit dinners, vases of roses and intimate moments, could very well strip away the veneer to reveal the heart and soul of a relationship--and the result may be one that just isn't worth continuing.
